# Everton: Fans gush over Asmir Begovic signing

**Lots of Everton fans have been left gushing as the Goodison Park faithful confirmed the signing of Asmir Begovic on their official Twitter page.**

The Merseyside club [tweeted](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1417544954864357380) an announcement video in which the former AFC Bournemouth shot-stopper was pictured donning the brand new goalkeeping kit, as he is set to give competition to Jordan Pickford for the 2021/22 season.

He joins on an initial one-year deal with an option of a further year, and becomes Rafa Benitez’s second summer signing after Andros Townsend ([evertonfc.com](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2193899/everton-complete-begovic-signing)).

Begovic played a key part in the Cherries getting to the EFL Championship play-offs in the last campaign, playing in no fewer than 51 games in total over all competitions and keeping an impressive 18 clean sheets ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/asmir-begovic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/33873/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

\[freshpress-quiz id=”363959″\]

A player with a lot of [experience](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/asmir-begovic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/33873/plus/0?saison=&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=GB1&pos=&trainer_id=) of playing in the Premier League as well, the 34-year-old should provide adequate cover for Pickford over the course of the new term.
